A HISTORY OF YORKSHIRE 



corresponding section occurs in the text of the Survey. He held five manors 

 of Berenger de Todeni in Ryedale and the neighbourhood, comprising 

 20J carucates." The Abbot of Selby appears as tenant of 7 carucates in the 

 archbishop's manor of Sherburn-in-Elmet.'' For the present the secular 

 chapters w^ere the principal ecclesiastical landow^ners after the bishops. 



Eight churches in York are mentioned in the Survey," 50 in the East 

 Riding, 49 in the North Riding and Richmondshire, and 70 in the 

 West Riding; 39 priests in the East Riding, 48 in the West, 29 in 

 the North, are mentioned in connexion with as many churches. Two 

 churches at Wakefield had three priests between them ; ^' at TopclifFe 

 there was a church and two priests.^^ At Easington in Cleveland there was 

 a church without a priest." In certain places, where no church is named, 

 clergy are mentioned — two priests at Withernsea," one priest at Bainton," 

 Swine," two places in the West Riding,'" and four places in the North 

 Riding ;" two clerks at Patrington '* and Everingham," one clerk at Brandes- 

 burton,'" a prebendary at Over Poppleton." The statistical value of these 

 entries for our purpose is limited : in no sense can Domesday be used as a 

 Norman diocesan calendar. It is interesting, however, to read of churches 

 at Kirk Hammerton,'' Hovingham,'' and Skipwith,'" where important frag- 

 ments of late Saxon date remain, while Kirkdale and Stonegrave mav with 

 some certainty be added to the list. The archbishop owned the church of 

 Cowlam." Anschetil held the manor and church of Ainderby Steeple of the 

 Earl of Richmond.''' An entry of some architectural interest relates to 

 Byland." 



Thomas was succeeded at York by Gerard, Bishop of Hereford, who had 

 taken an active part with William II against Anselm.'* The contention with 

 Canterbury was renewed, and Gerard, unwilling to profess obedience to 

 Anselm, and ready to seize an advantage for York, prosecuted the cause of
